Chang Yuchun smashed the table to pieces with one palm. With a bad temper, he stood up angrily and questioned Cheng Mu.
The word "recognize the situation clearly" has a synonym, which is to know what is good and what is bad.
Obviously, he understood what Cheng Mu meant. Cheng Mu wanted Zhu Di to know what was good and what was bad!
"presumptuous!"
The next second, Zhang Wanlong also slapped the table.
How dare people from the Ming Empire run wild on the territory of their own Apocalypse Empire?
This guest is too presumptuous!
"Wanlong."
Cheng Mu stopped the indignant Zhang Wanlong.
Compared to the furious two people, his client seemed very calm.
"Here comes someone."
He turned to the maid and said, "Arrange another table for General Chang."
As for negotiation, let's talk peacefully. Use force? That's not what civilized people should do.
At this time, Zhu Di also turned around and scolded Chang Yuchun: "You still haven't apologized to Emperor Qi?"
In such an occasion, whoever can't sit still first means he loses!
"Qi...Qi Huang forgives me."
Chang Yuchun tried his best to restrain himself, but under Zhu Di's pressure, he finally lowered his head.
"General Chang has a bad temper, so I would like to ask Emperor Qi to express his gratitude."
Zhu Di also expressed his apology to Cheng Mu. The game between the two parties is not over yet, and he cannot mess up the situation.
Indeed, this is negotiation, not war.
"Nothing."
Cheng Mu didn't take it to heart. He just slapped the table. When he met Chang Yuchun on the battlefield, he would slap it back again.
"Emperor Qi is indeed kind-hearted and I admire him."
Changsun Wuji also gave a timely compliment. At present, none of the three countries want an internal war to break out.
If Cheng Mu didn't get angry and punish Chang Yuchun, then he seemed to have realized what Cheng Mu meant.
As long as there is no internal friction, everything is fine.
"The visitor is a guest."
Cheng Mu raised his wine glass and invited another drink.
As soon as I drank the wine, the restless atmosphere seemed to calm down a lot.
But everyone present knew that there were volcanoes hidden under the current calm.
Zhu Di wanted to try his best to keep Zheng Zhilong's Shenlong Island and enhance the maritime strength of the Ming Empire.
As for Cheng Mu, after losing Xiaoliuqiu, he must use Shenlong Island to make up for his losses.
This is the bottom line, there is no way he can go back even a little bit!
"Emperor Ming."
At this time, Changsun Wuji said to Zhu Di: "Since Emperor Qi agreed to withdraw his troops from Xiaoliuqiu, the Ming Dynasty's territory will not be damaged."
"Then Zheng Zhilong is a pirate after all."
"Recruiting him will cause endless troubles!"
As a mediator, he cannot always help Zhu Di speak.
If Xiaoliuqiu returns to the Ming Dynasty, then the Ming Dynasty will have no losses. Most of the purpose of his coming here this time has been achieved.
As for Zheng Zhilong and Shenlong Island? That is another matter.
Then, he turned to Cheng Mu and said: "Emperor Qi, the war in the Song Empire is tense now, we can't let things get sideways!"
This is another purpose of his coming here this time.
Datang suffered a loss from the Song Empire. Therefore, he hoped that Cheng Mu could send a few more armies there.
If the Apocalypse Empire went to war with Zheng Zhilong now, he was worried that Cheng Mu would not be able to fully support the Song Empire.
Therefore, according to Changsun Wuji’s attitude.
Zheng Zhilong and Shenlong Island, don’t touch him yet.
Zhu Di should not recruit Zheng Zhilong as an official, otherwise it would not offend the interests of the Apocalypse Empire.
The Apocalypse Empire can also safely assist the Tang Dynasty in its campaign against the Song Empire.
"hehe."
Cheng Mu suddenly smiled.
He looked at Changsun Wuji and then at Zhu Di. Then, he said the toughest words today.
"In the battle of the Song Empire, I, Tianqi, can increase the number of troops."
"But I will also kill Zheng Zhilong!"
This is his attitude. To retreat? That is impossible.
If Zhu Di and Li Shimin agree, then he will still be a member of the brotherly and friendly alliance.
But if they continue to be aggressive, our own Apocalypse Empire would rather fight!
To retreat at the beginning is wisdom and etiquette. To retreat again is weakness!
"you!"
Seeing Cheng Mu not giving any face, Zhu Di became angry instantly.
Zheng Zhilong has been in the waters of the Ming Dynasty from the beginning, and most of the disasters are the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Now, if Zheng Zhilong wants to submit, he must submit to the Ming Empire.
"I?"
Cheng Mu did not give in at all. He said categorically: "My Apocalypse Empire's army will set out to conquer the bandit Zheng Zhilong on a certain day."
"What? Emperor Ming, do you still want to intervene?"
If Zhu Di dares to send someone over, then he dares to kill!
Your Ming Dynasty has integrity, and your Ming Dynasty has blood and energy. And the integrity and blood energy of my Apocalypse Empire is a hundred times stronger than your Ming Dynasty!
The moment his voice fell.
Thump thump thump.
Around the banquet, the soldiers of the Sand Clan who were originally guarding the surroundings drew their weapons. Outside the hall, 800,000 soldiers of the Apocalypse Army were also waiting in full formation!
Full of murderous intent.
"How dare you!"
Seeing that the people around him dared to use the knife, Chang Yuchun slapped him again.
Bang!
The table in front of him turned into powder again. The huge power filled the entire hall.
War is about to break out!
"Your Majesty, calm down, calm down!"
The tense situation instantly frightened Changsun Wuji and he immediately stood up and tried to persuade them: "We are all allies, don't be angry! Don't be angry!"
"General Chang, General Chang, sit down quickly!"
We can't start a fight! He's a little panicked now.
"snort!"
Zhu Di gritted his teeth. In fact, he wanted to smash the table to pieces to show his attitude.
But when he saw the shining swords around him and Changsun Wuji's persuasion, he decided to give Datang some face.
Reason told him.
It would do him no good to break up with each other here.
"snort!"
Chang Yuchun was still very angry. But when he saw Zhu Di had sat down, he could only return to his seat.
But from now on, no one will come to change the table for him.
"Haha! Thank you Emperor Ming for your support!"
Seeing Zhu Di, who had died down after sitting down, a smile suddenly appeared on Cheng Mu's face.
Since Zhu Di doesn't refute, it means that his request has been approved.
"Congratulations to Emperor Qi."
Changsun Wuji breathed a long sigh of relief. His worried heart finally let go.
One person gets an island, and both parties are still within the acceptable range. This also means that his mediation was successful this time.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Changsun."
Cheng Mu also quit when he saw the opportunity. With Zheng Zhilong's Shenlong Island in his account, it was not a waste of effort.
Xiaoliuqiu really could not be taken away. He was not actually worried about going to war with the Ming Empire. What he was worried about was that Li Shimin would turn the gun and attack him.
The current strength of the Apocalypse Empire is still unable to withstand the front and rear attacks of the two empires at the same time.
Although there is a killer Black Order, when the Black Order is completely released, that will probably be the end of this world!
"Qihuang, you must remember."
At this time, Changsun Wuji warned again: "As for the Song Empire, you still need to worry about it."
The war in the Song Empire has reached a stalemate. Therefore, they urgently need the Apocalypse Empire to break the situation.
"Easy to say."
Cheng Mu agreed.
As long as you conquer Zheng Zhilong, you can fight against the Song Empire.
Compared to the Ming Empire, the Song Empire, which was not very tough-minded, was still easier to bully.
Of course, this does not mean that everyone in the Song Empire is a coward and weakling. It is just that the morale of most of the literati in the Song Empire is not that high.
After all, Lu Xiufu, Wen Tianxiang and others cannot represent everyone.
"In that case, let's drink! Haha! Drink!"
Changsun Wuji was satisfied.
He picked up the wine glass and drank happily.
Facing Changsun Wuji's invitation, although Zhu Di was unhappy, he could only accompany him!
The current situation of Ming Dynasty is still not good, and there is really no room for him to act recklessly when everything is waiting for improvement. Being able to take back Xiaoliuqiu is already the biggest gain.
At the very least, the Ming Dynasty did not lose a single cent of its territory.
None of the princesses of the Ming Dynasty married off.
The Ming Dynasty never signed any unequal covenants.
The backbone of Ming Dynasty is still there!
...
The second day.
Zhu Di left in a hurry because of the many things in the country.
However, Changsun Wuji and Li Zhi agreed to stay in Tianqi City for a few more days.
Although the matter has been resolved, Changsun Wuji still wants to take a good look and evaluate the strength of the Apocalypse Empire.
At this time, Tianqi City had developed into a giant city with a population of nearly five million.
Every day, a steady stream of businessmen, knights, students, etc. from all over the world arrive here to pay homage to the holy city in their hearts.
That's right, in the hearts of many people in the Apocalypse Empire, Apocalypse City is the holy city they have followed throughout their lives.
And Cheng Mu is the emperor they have followed all their lives!
“It’s really prosperous.”
Seeing the people coming and going on the street, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.
The prosperity of Tianqi City actually has a touch of the style of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty.
"Haha, that's natural."
Guo Jia personally accompanied them and explained to them personally: "In Tianqi City, there are not only businessmen, rangers, and scribes from our own country, but also businessmen and travelers from other countries."
"The most distant guest among them is the country of Ying from across the ocean."
At this moment, Tianqi City has long been an international super city.
Relying on the very convenient transportation capabilities of Kunming Lake and Dajiang, now, specialties from various countries under the Chinese civilization can be found in Apocalypse City.
There are even many items from other civilizations here.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Changsun Wuji said "good words" three times in a row.
Looking at it this way, this Apocalypse City is already comparable to Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty!
"Master Guo."
At this time, Li Zhi on the side couldn't help but asked curiously: "Are these people the people of your apocalypse?"
He asked a very stupid question.
But in this case, he had to ask.
On the street, among the people coming and going, he found that the strength of these ordinary people was comparable to the elites of hundreds of battles.
If each person is given a weapon, then these people will become soldiers!
In the land of the Han people, all the people are soldiers? He has never dared to imagine it before. The Han people are physically weak and cannot compare with foreigners. This is a fact.
"Um."
Guo Jia nodded and said: "The people of our country are still not as good as the Tang Dynasty."
He is being humble. At the same time, this is also a low-key pretense.
"Oh, haha, that's nature, that's nature."
Li Zhi's face felt a little embarrassed for a moment, and at the same time, he also felt a little calculating in his heart.
'Listen, is this human talk?'
'A woman is stronger than an elite soldier, but she is still weaker than the people of the Tang Dynasty?'
If he hadn't been well-trained, he would really have cursed at this moment.
Holding back the sourness in their hearts, the group of people walked through another street corner.
But this time, when Li Zhi turned around and saw several children kicking a stone lion statue as a shuttlecock.
